Not every breast cancer story begins with a lump. For some families, it starts with a pattern: a mother, an aunt, or a sister diagnosed at a young age. During #BreastCancerAwarenessMonth, we are highlighting the role hereditary risk can play & why knowing it early matters.
Our final #KnowYourRisk video examines MMS22L & BIK, two emerging genes still under study. Dr. Helfand explains why these findings are best considered alongside other important factors.
Thank you for following along as we help make prostate cancer a little easier to understand.
This installment of #KnowYourRisk covers MMS22L & BIK, two emerging genes in #prostatecancer research where the evidence is still developing. Dr. Helfand emphasizes why these results call for caution, & why neither should be treated as a stand-alone, management-changing finding.
This installment of #KnowYourRisk covers HSD3B1, a gene tied to how the body responds to hormone therapy rather than inherited cancer risk. Dr. Helfand explains why this result matters most if hormone therapy becomes part of your treatment plan, as it may offer more insight.
The next #KnowYourRisk video shifts focus to HSD3B1, a gene tied not to hereditary risk but to hormone sensitivity & ADT response. Dr. Helfand explains why this result is best understood as a hormone-response marker rather than a stand-alone treatment driver.
Leukemia & Lymphoma Awareness Month is a time to raise awareness of blood cancers & the importance of accurate diagnosis. As testing & treatment continue to advance, earlier & more precise answers can help guide care.

#BloodCancerAwareness
This week's #KnowYourRisk tackles a phrase that can sound alarming: "lethal prostate cancer genes." Dr. Helfand explains that a result here doesn't mean your cancer is automatically dangerous, it means certain findings may signal your case deserves closer attention.
#PCAM
The latest in #KnowYourRisk with Dr. Helfand focuses on germline findings tied to genes associated with higher risk for potentially lethal prostate cancer. Dr. Helfand explains why these results carry weight for new patients, since they may signal more concerning disease biology.
In this installment of Know Your Risk, Dr. Helfand explains what it means if your genetic result involves a DNA repair gene, information that's often tied to PARP inhibitors & advanced treatment, but can matter much earlier too.
#ProstateCancerAwarenessMonth #KnowYourRisk
Kidney stones, bladder health, prostate concerns... how much do you actually know about urologic health? September is #UrologyAwarenessMonth, a good reminder to check in on a part of health that often gets overlooked. Staying informed & proactive matters at every age!
What would make it easier for men to talk about their health?
Talking about #ProstateHealth still comes with a lot of hesitation for a lot of men. Sometimes it's not about access to care; it's about being at ease enough to bring it up. Your insight might be what someone needs.

Next on our #KnowYourRisk series, Dr. Helfand answers a question many patients ask after genetic testing: What does this result mean for me? He explains that a genetic result is not a diagnosis, but rather a piece of info that helps personalize your care.

Many practices can now integrate germline testing into prostate cancer care. ProstateNow is a germline test for prostate cancer, combining multi‑gene analysis with a risk‑focused approach to support decision‑making.

#ProstateCancerAwarenessMonth
Hard work doesn't take a day off, but today, we do. 🎉 Labor Day is a chance to slow down, recharge, and appreciate the effort that goes into everything we build. Happy Labor Day from all of us at GoPath, here's to a well-earned break!
Prostate cancer can develop quietly in its early stages, often showing no warning signs at all. That silence is exactly why regular checkups & conversations with your doctor matter, even when you feel fine.
#ProstateCancerAwarenessMonth #PCAM
September is #OvarianCancerAwarenessMonth. This year, an estimated 21,010 women in the US will be diagnosed with ovarian cancer, & early symptoms can often be mistaken for common digestive or urinary issues. Recognizing changes can support earlier diagnosis & better outcomes.
This September, GoPath Diagnostics is marking #ProstateCancerAwarenessMonth with a new video series: Know Your Risk, featuring Dr. Helfand. Throughout the month, Dr. Helfand shares insights on genetic testing and its growing role in prostate cancer care.

September is #ProstateCancerAwarenessMonth, & genetics is reshaping how decisions are made for many men with prostate cancer. This month, we'll highlight when to consider testing, how ProstateNow supports care, & how we help clinicians navigate results with actionable reports.
Today marks World Breast Cancer Research Day, a day dedicated to recognizing the research driving us closer to a cure. 1 in 8 women in the U.S. will be diagnosed with breast cancer in her lifetime, & continued research is what will change that number.
